"Don't you think it's a little strange?"

Gu Ning interrupted Chu Shiling's words, and nodded her head under Chu Shiling's clear but confused eyes.

"What's so strange? Don't underestimate those traveling merchants, they are well informed." Chu Shiling dissatisfied, "A lot of information about the Xiongnu came from them."

"Why did the Princess and you get the news of the marriage, but I didn't hear anything about the marriage from my grandmother?" Gu Ning asked, "Could it be that the intelligence network of the Pei family is not as good as a few traveling merchants?"

Suddenly, Chu Shiling's spine felt cold.

She clenched her hands subconsciously, and thought for a moment in her heart, but she felt that her mind was at a loss, and she murmured: "Yeah...why is that?"

Although Chu Shiling has never cared about these things, she is like a mirror in her heart. The Pei family has been in the army for several generations, and they will only have more eyeliners at the border than herself. Even the Pei family has never received news. Where did business come from?

"I..." Chu Shiling swallowed, and said nervously, "Am I being tricked?"

"That person is not planning on you, but me." Gu Ning sneered, "Or, they are planning on the Pei family!"

Under Chu Shiling's surprised and full gaze, Gu Ning slowly said: "If the marriage is true, then you are indeed the most suitable candidate. Everyone knows that Xinyue County Lord is spoiled and spoiled, and she is greedy for enjoyment, so how can she be willing to marry? A dangerous place like the Huns?"

"In this way, you will definitely ask me for help, and I will also ask your grandmother for you, so the Pei family will be involved in this matter."

"What's the benefit of doing this?" Chu Shiling trembled, but still opened her confused eyes wide, "Make the Huns hate you?"

"Our relationship with the Xiongnu has long been in dire straits. If they have spent so much trouble just for this established situation, wouldn't they be as stupid as you?"

"Who are you calling stupid!" Chu Shiling immediately grasped the point, staring at Gu Ning very unhappy, "If I am stupid, then there will be no smart people in this world!"

"Okay, okay." Gu Ning rolled his eyes, "You are not stupid, you are the smartest woman in the world."

Anyone could hear Gu Ning's perfunctory, Chu Shiling's eyes widened, his clear eyes were full of displeasure, but he dared not say a word about Gu Ning.

"Tell me!" She grabbed Gu Ning's hand and whispered, "What's going on? I still can't figure it out."

"Isn't that simple?" When Gu Ning mentioned this, his pretty face tightened, "It must be the second prince or one of the princes who plotted against us."

"If it's not you, but me?"

In one sentence, Chu Shiling's face instantly turned pale, and her lips parted: "How could it be you? You are already engaged to Mr. Xie, and the person who is going to marry will never be yours."

She was talking, but she knew her panic at the moment better than anyone else.

Although the candidates for marriage have always been chosen from unmarried clan girls, it is not uncommon to force married clan girls to reconcile and divorce.

What is even more frightening is that this marriage cannot be refused at all.

In the eyes of the emperor and those ministers, it is the most cost-effective thing to use a mere woman to quell the flames of war. Even if the strength of the Pei family is strong enough, they cannot stop the mouth of the world.

Chu Shiling looked terrified, stuttering and unable to utter a complete sentence.

"It was I who harmed you..." she murmured, "If you are tricked by them, no matter whether you get married or not, there will be a gap between the Pei family and the emperor!"

"Yes." Gu Ning supported his chin, playing with a strand of hair hanging down with one hand, "Go to get married, the emperor will not believe in a family that has a marriage with a foreign enemy, if you don't go to get married, that is to disobey the imperial decree .”

"Then what should we do?" Chu Shiling muttered, sitting up straight suddenly.

Seeing her expression, Gu Ning frowned: "What do you want to do?"

"If I go to make a kiss..."

"Okay, okay." Gu Ning waved his hand angrily, "I knew you didn't hold back any good words, so now, do you think you can solve this trouble by voluntarily getting married?"

"The target of the people behind the scenes is the Pei family, not you." Gu Ning sneered, "Even if there are tens of thousands of you who voluntarily marry the Huns, they will not let you do so."

Chu Shiling's face was pale, and she clenched her hands nervously. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to speak.

"Don't worry." Gu Ning patted her on the shoulder lightly, and comforted her, "The envoys of the Huns haven't come to the capital yet, and no one in Beijing knows about the marriage, so don't worry about it too early."

"But……"

"Besides, if you don't believe me, don't you believe in the famous eldest princess?" Gu Ning pinched Chu Shiling's cheek, and said with a smile, "With her here, who would dare to think of me?"

"That's true." Chu Shiling nodded thoughtfully, "As long as you don't make a marriage, it doesn't matter if your relationship with the emperor is a bit stiff."

The left and right emperors have to rely on the veterans of the Pei family to stabilize the frontier, he can't force Gu Ning to marry, isn't this chilling the hearts of all the veterans?

Chu Shiling only dared to think these words in her heart, but she didn't dare to say a word, but her eyeballs were rolling around, enough for Gu Ning to see what she was thinking at the moment.

"You're right." Gu Ning patted her on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Our Pei family is not a soft persimmon that can be rounded and flattened by others. Even if he wants me to make a kiss, he has to weigh it carefully. .”

Chu Shiling quickly waved his hands: "I didn't say anything!"

"Okay, okay!" Gu Ning said perfunctorily, "You didn't say anything."

Before leaving, Chu Shiling did not forget to tell Gu Ning: "You must tell the eldest princess about this matter, we still have to make plans early, and we must not be tricked by those villains!"

Gu Ning squeezed his chin, and said in a low tone: "Actually, I can solve this matter by myself. There are only two people who plot against the Pei family."

One Chu Mengyang and one Chu Yunyi.

She doesn't know about Chu Mengyang for the time being, but the relationship between Chu Yunyi and the Xiongnu is very ambiguous.

As soon as Gu Ning's eyes moved, he had a plan in his heart.

At the same time, in the Eastern Palace.

Ever since Xu Fengyi's miscarriage, the entire East Palace has been shrouded in a layer of cloud.

The palace people didn't dare to laugh and laugh when they encountered something interesting, and they didn't dare to shout when they were frightened, for fear of offending His Highness the Crown Prince who was in a rage.

Although the rumors outside the palace have subsided, this is not the case inside the palace.

Chu Yunyi's uncertain weather made many people secretly suspect that it was just Xu Fengyi's miscarriage. Could it really make the prince so angry?Unless...he really can't give birth, and one of the two remaining hopes is shattered...

This kind of speculation is not only in the East Palace, the entire imperial city, even the concubines in the harem, are all talking about it, wishing to tie up Chu Yunyi to see what happened.

So much so that when Chu Yunyi goes out now, someone is bound to look down at him.

"And relatives?"

Chu Yunyi instantly suppressed his anger, and stared fiercely at Mr. Zhuang in front of him.

"Is this true?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded: "The subordinates have placed a lot of spies in Yuezhou before, and they got the exact news that the Xiongnu intends to marry us and conquer the mountains!"

"The choice of the marriage partner is the most important thing!"

As Chu Yunyi's most trusted staff member, Mr. Zhuang's words naturally convinced Chu Yunyi.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "That's fine, why did the Huns want to get married? Why didn't there be any news beforehand?"

Mr. Zhuang considered it for a while: "Perhaps the news of the Jiang family's imprisonment has reached the Xiongnu. They only know how to fight and kill. Naturally, they don't understand the reason for your dormancy, so they think you are useless."

After hearing the words, Chu Yunyi sneered: "What do a group of barbarians know about being king?"

But soon, his face became gloomy again: "Who are the candidates for marriage? Do you know?"

"It is rumored that the most satisfactory candidate for the King of the Huns is the county head of Changning."

"what!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yunyi's voice suddenly rose.

He regarded Gu Ning as something in his palm, so how could he be willing to watch Gu Ning marry the Huns?

If Gu Ning married off to the Huns, wouldn't the Pei family become a waste game!At that time, how can he compare to Chu Mengyang who has the Song family behind him.

Almost instantly, he made a decision.

"We must not let the Pei family be involved in this matter!" Chu Yunyi gritted his teeth, "Gu Ning is the future princess of the king, how can he marry the Huns?"

Gu Qingqiu, who was standing outside the door, clearly heard these words in his ears.

She clenched her hands, and the coldness in her eyes spread inch by inch.

really!Sure enough, he still has this heart!

She gritted her teeth tightly, and just now controlled what she was about to say.

The figure outside made Chu Yunyi startled, and immediately asked, "Who is outside?"

Gu Qingqiu immediately raised a smiling face: "Your Highness, it's me."

She called out softly, dissipating Chu Yunyi's worries a lot, and complained indifferently: "Since you're here, why don't you speak?"

"I just arrived too." Gu Qingqiu pushed open the door, with a gentle smile on his face, "I heard that His Highness was discussing matters with Mr. Zhuang, so I specially brought the tea here, so as not to let outsiders listen to your words. "

Hearing this, Chu Yunyi looked at her suspiciously: "Did you hear everything?"

Gu Qingqiu lowered his head and was silent for a while, with tears in his eyes, he still smiled softly and said: "I have caused so much trouble for Your Highness, and I am so grateful that His Highness can keep me by my side, how could I be so grateful?" How about blaming His Highness for his decision?"

"I am willing to give up the position of the crown princess to the county master."

Hearing Gu Qingqiu's sincere words, Chu Yunyi felt very comfortable.

Seeing that Gu Qingqiu was about to kneel down, he hurriedly took a stride: "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to salute anyone except Father! What if you hurt the child in your belly?"

When Chu Yunyi spoke, his eyes never left Gu Qingqiu's stomach.

Seeing this, a mocking smile flashed across Gu Qingqiu's eyes.
